I. Background
❑ Previously the government (old: Ministry of ICT, KCC) pursued
a policy to be able to switch early to the IPv6 system in case
the existing number of IPv4 addresses became exhausted, so a
transition plan was established first in 2004, then modified in
2007, then modified again in 2010.
* Whereas the number of IPv4 addresses is about 4.3 billion (232), the number of
IPv6 addresses is 2128 (3.4×1,038) which is, for all practical purposes,
inexhaustible.
- This is because an IPv6 address is composed of 16 bits and 8 units, for
example: 2001:dc2:0:40:135:72df:9e74:d8a3.
Ÿ The government has over the years made consistent efforts to
improve preparations for adopting IPv6 in both the private and
public Internet, but support for each IPv6 network product
needed to implement the network (routers, switches, servers,
etc.) and commercialization of IPv6-based services (Network
Enabled Service, etc) has been very poor nonetheless.
Ÿ The preparation rate for the backbone network was 92%, 65% for
the subscriber network (as of Dec. 2013), and 60% for the public
network (as of Dec. 2010.)
* In fact, there was only one IPv6 service available which is the LGU+ LTE voice
service that launched in August 2013 and gained 800,000 subscribers by the
end of December 2013.
❑ In February, 2011, ICANN* declared its IPv4 address exhaustion
and final allocation policy, which states that each organization
can be assigned up to 1,024 IPv4 addresses at once.
* ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is a nonprofit
- 2 -
private organization established under the auspices of the US Department of
Commerce in 1998 to manage the domain name systems and allocate IP
addresses.
** Final allocation policy : Each organization can be assigned 1,024 IPv4 address
each time.
Ÿ Whereas the public and private sectors of other major countries
are quickly switching to IPv6, Koreans are not yet using it very
much.
* For example, IPv6 service use rate (as of Dec., 2013) was, in descending
order, in Switzerland 12.5%, Romania 10.78%, Luxemburg 9.55%, Germany
7.22%, Japan 6.81%, USA 6.41%, and China 1.13%. But in Korea it was only
0.01%.
❑ As domestic IPv4 addresses will be used up within two or
three years, we will be unable to expand existing services and
handle newly created demand (Cloud, Internet of Things (IoT),
etc.) without switching to IPv6.
* One reason is because when providing mobile Internet (LTE) services, each
subscriber requires two IP addresses (voice and data).
☞ To successfully respond to the impending huge growth in
demand for Internet services and promote smooth execution
of the Internet-based “creative economy”, we must now
establish a strategic roadmap to expand the infinite Internet
address system (IPv6) to encompass the entirety of the
network including all fixed and mobile entities.

< IPv6 transition concepts >
❑ IP address concepts
Ÿ IP (Internet Protocol) is a mutual communication protocol for PC communication.
An IP address is absolutely required for connection and communication between
networks and/or mobile devices.
※ Each IPv4 address consists of eight bits and four units (ex. 211.192.38.1) so the total
number available is 232 (about 4.3 billion). Meanwhile, each IPv6 address consists of
16 bits and 8 units (ex. 2001:dc2:0:40:135:72df:9e74:d8a3) so the total number available
is 2128 (3.4×1038) which is practically infinite.
❑ IPv6 transition concept
Ÿ This means that existing IPv4-Only equipment (routers, switches, servers, etc.)
are replaced with IPv4/IPv6 compatible equipment or IPv6-Only equipment.
❑ IPv6 transition methods
Ÿ Check if the existing equipment support IPv4-Only, IPv4/IPv6 or IPv6-Only and
replace the equipment or update the software.
※ Check whether the hardware chipset supports IPv6 and whether the software version
supports IPv6. Determine whether it is necessary to replace the equipment for IPv6
transition.

< IPv6 transition concepts >
❑ IPv6 transition technologies
Ÿ IPv6 transition technologies include dual stacks, tunneling and address
transitions. B Compatibility will have to be ensured as both addressing
protocols will co-exist for the next 30 years or so.
- Dual Stack : Both IPv4 & IPv6 are supported by this technology.
- Tunneling : Technology to achieve end-to-end communication by passing through
the IPv6 network which lies in the middle.
- Address translation : Technology to achieve communication between IPv4 and IPv6.
※ IPv4 are IPv6 are expected to co-exist until the year 2046. (KISA research results,
Dec. 2012)

Ⅱ. Status of Korea/Overseas
1 Execution Status Overseas
❑ The international organization ISOC (Internet Society) hosted
`World IPv6 Launch Day’ on June 1st, 2012, officially signaling
the start of IPv6 commercial services with about 3,100
companies including Google participating.
※ Soon after many companies such as Google, Yahoo, Facebook and YouTube
began providing IPv6 commercial services. In Korea, KISA (Korean Internet
Security Agency), Daum and other companies also participated, but as of now
they are only providing test services.
Ÿ The IPv6 Forum (launched as a non-profit organization
headquartered in Luxemburg in July, 1999) actually began
assigning the “IPv6 Ready” logo to all IPv6 supporting products
worldwide starting in September, 2003.
※ As of January 1, 2014, the total number of IPv6 Ready products in the world
was 1,587 with 94 being Korean.
Ÿ Currently the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) is seeking
out issues related to network switching technologies and
operation for IPv6 introduction and making consistent efforts to
establish the international standards.
※ Mobile communication (LTE) provides voice and data service are using the
464xLAT standard.
Ÿ PC versions of Microsoft Windows higher than Vista 2007 can
support IPv6 as well as all smartphones launched after 2010.
- 6 -
※ Both Apple iOS 4.0 or higher (2010) and Android 2.3 or higher (2011) can
support IPv6.
❑ The United States: Although the USA has the most IPv4
addresses in the world, in order to maintain their reputation as
the leader of the Internet in the IPv6 environment, the nation
has prepared a public sector IPv6 transition roadmap and is
now aggressively executing it.
Ÿ Authorities will make sure that the government and public
organizations switch to IPv6 preemptively as a role model so
that security issues can be alleviated and the private sector can
be encouraged to adopt IPv6.
Ÿ All federal organizations adopted IPv6 for its backbone network
by September 2012, and all the federal government public service
websites and internal systems must migrate to IPv6 by
September 2014.
※ 546 (41.1%) out of 1,294 federal government websites already introduced IPv6
as of December 2013.
❑ Europe: The EU formed an IPv6 task force to promote IPv6
transition and is now encouraging its introduction in various
areas such as infrastructures, applications and services.
Ÿ In 2011, the EU invested €6 million in its ‘Gen6 Project’ to
implement secure and efficient electronic government services
based on IPv6.
❑ Japan: In 2002, the government allowed for a special, one-year
corporate tax deduction whereby communication service
providers were able to deduct 12% of the purchase price of
routers for IPv6 services. This was done as an incentive to
entice companies and institutions to voluntarily switch to IPv6.
- 7 -
Ÿ In 2008, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication
established an ‘IPv6 Execution Plan’ that aimed to have the
nation switch to IPv6 by the end of 2012. They recommended
ISP service providers to finish implementing the IPv6 system by
the end of 2011.
※ As of Mar. 2013, 54% of all the ISP service providers and 13% of CATV
service providers were providing commercial services based on IPv6.
❑ China: To quickly avoid impending problems arising due to a
lack of IPv4 addresses, China has been encouraging introduction
of IPv6 at the national level.
Ÿ By 2006, they had implemented thirty IPv6 regional network
bases throughout the nation and in 2013 they performed a slew
of small scale tests on IPv6. China is now ready to pursue
commercialization in the 2014-2015 timeframe.
❑ India: In March 2013, India revealed its IPv6 introduction
roadmap that applied to service providers, content providers,
manufacturers and government organizations.
※ All government organizations will finish switching to IPv6 by Dec. 2017. Service
providers have already been offering IPv6 LTE services since July 2013. IPv6
services will be available for wired networks starting in July 2014.

Viewpoints
◈ Other countries are taking the following actions:
Ÿ Announcing an IPv6 transition plan/roadmap
Ÿ Introducing IPv6 first in the public sector so encourage
widespread adoption
Ÿ Increasing the demand for related technologies and equipment
⇒ Korea also needs to seek out various political plans suitable for
the current situation such as preparing an IPv6 roadmap,
introducing IPv6 to government and public organizations, allowing
tax deductions and providing special support for small & medium
size companies.

executed
❑ (2011-2013) In 2010, the Third IPv6 Transition Plan was
established to implement the backbone of commercial IPv6
services and provide technical support for small & medium
companies.
Ÿ A consortium of private sector and government organizations
collaborated on a project to support commercial services for high
speed Internet, mobile communication (3G, LTE and WiFi) and
university networks.
Ÿ Customized technical consulting and technical support were set
up to assist small medium companies not having the resources
needed to train experts and introduce IPv6 in each area.
② Execution status
❑ (IPv6 address availability) In December of 2013, a total of 5,214
IPv6 addresses /32 (296) were obtained.
Ÿ Following the USA (31,636), China (16,670), Germany (11,976),
Japan (11,249) and other countries, Korea is ranked number nine
in the world. (Dec. 2013, APNIC)
❑ (Network) Network operators’ preparation for the IPv6
subscriber network is greatly improved. (2013)
※ Preparation rate: The ratio of equipment for backbone networks (routers,
switches, etc.) and subscriber networks (OLT, CMTS, etc.) supporting IPv6.

Ÿ (Public sector) Mandatory purchase of equipment supporting
both IPv4 and IPv6. (2008 Information System
Implementation/Operation Guidelines and Funds/Budget
Operation Plans) At the end of 2010, the preparation rate was
around 60%.
※ For IPv6 traffic flows in Korea and overseas, KISA has installed and operated
an IPv6 link network (6NGIX). (Jan., 2008): KT, SKT, Cheonnam University,
Hurricane (USA) and about 70 other networks linked.
❑ (Service) In August, 2013, LGU+ launched its IPv6-based Voice
over LTE (VoLTE) service but the actual services for
content/data and websites are yet to be provided.
※ Since December of 2013, Daum has been testing additional websites based on
IPv6.
❑ (Equipment) About 70% of domestic companies’ network
equipment such as routers support IPv6 but only 15% of the
information security products support IPv6, which is very low.
※ 94 (70%) out of 134 network equipment products (routers, switches, etc.) made
by 28 small & medium companies in Korea are “IPv6 Ready” certified (in
accordance with the international IPv6 forum), and 30(15%) out of 197 CC*
certified products support IPv6.
* CC (Common Criteria): Common security certification system that is mutually
approved by 26 countries in the world.
❑ (User devices) About 68% of Korean PCs and smartphones
support IPv6. (2013, KISA)

3 Demand and Transition Forecasts
① Demand forecasts
❑ Higher demand for IP addresses as more handsets access the
Internet.
Ÿ The widespread promotion of wireless services such as
integrated wireless/wired services, smartphones and emergence
of 4G services has lead to a parabolic increase in the demand for
IP addresses.
- More than 12 billion devices including servers, PCs and smartphones in the
world are connected to the Internet. By 2020, this figure will be increased to 50
billion units.
* Cisco Visualization(http://share.cisco.com/internet-of-things.html)
❑ Domestic IPv4 address scarcity and demand forecasts
Ÿ According to IPv4 address availability surveys, about 15 million
(13.6%) of the total of 112 million IPv4 addresses are yet to be
used.
- Considering the pattern of IPv4 address use in the past, we expect a shortage
within 3 to 4 years. Main service providers will face a shortage within 1 to 2
years.
Ÿ Considering the changes in the number of IPv4 addresses
available during the years 2006 to 2010 before IPv4 address
scarcity was declared in 2011, and taking into account future
demand until 2017 based on the standard deviation method, we
can conclude that we will need about 330 million IP addresses in
2017.

② Transition forecast
❑ Since the declaration of IPv4 scarcity in 2011, the amount of
IPv6 traffic in the world has suddenly increased.
Ÿ For the first 10 years after being launched in 1998 there was only
a slight annual increase in the amount of IPv6 traffic, but after
the scarcity of IPv4 addresses was announced in Feb 2011 the
amount of IPv6 traffic has increased drastically.
- Until 2011, the years prior to the announcing of IPv4 address scarcity, the
amount of IPv6 traffic had increased to only 0.27% of all traffic, but as of Dec.
2013 it had suddenly increased to 2.75%.
Feb 2011, Declaration of IPv4 address scarcity
*Source : Google IPv6 statistics
❑ The amount of IPv6 traffic will be suddenly rise from 2.75%
(end of 2013) to 50% (by 2018).
Ÿ Considering the trends of IPv6 traffic changes around the world,
Google conducted a study to forecast IPv6 traffic growth from
which they concluded it will jump from 10% at the end of 2015
to 50% by the middle of 2018.
- 17 -
*Source : Google IPv6 statistics
Ÿ Countries like the USA and Japan will introduce IPv6
aggressively in an attempt to lead the Internet market and
improve national competiveness, while countries like China and
India will do so mostly to resolve the issue of IPv4 address
scarcity.

Ⅲ. Anticipated problems (Trouble Factors)
❑ Delayed supply of commercial IPv6 services
Ÿ (Private sector) According to the existing IPv6 transition plan,
the rate of network preparation is increasing consistently, but
there are some delays in promoting IPv6 support related to
various network equipment availability and service transition.
- Different participants such as network and service providers and device
manufacturers are trying to avoid taking responsibility for introducing IPv6
(“chicken-egg” problem).
- As there exists the burden of investment costs such as equipment replacement
and software updates, they are reluctant to introduce IPv6.
※ Companies lacking IP addresses use a private IP address to provide
service. As a result, there are problems such as increased complexity,
limited bi-directional communication, and increased costs for Network
Address Translation (NAT).
<NAT Concepts>
Local network (inside)
Internet (outside)
NAT conversion table
Server
* Using Network Address Translation (NAT) that converts a private IP address to a
public IP address and vice versa, you can generate and use several thousand
(theoretically 65,000) private IP addresses from a single public IP address
Ÿ (Public sector) For network equipment, IPv6 service has been
mandatorily required since 2008, but websites have not been
mandated to do so, so there has been a delay in the IPv6
service.
- 19 -
< Problems Anticipated by a Delayed IPv6 Transition >
❑ Limited number of responses to new service demands and
newcomers entry to the market
Ÿ There is a restriction on starting new services requiring IP addresses and
expanding existing services.
* (Hosting company A) Complains about difficulties in attracting new customers
as so many IP addresses are required to conduct business.
* (Cable company K) As it was unable to acquire sufficient IP addresses, it
failed to execute its service expansion plans but was finally able to take over
IPv4 addresses from company D that went out of business.
❑ Concerns over security vulnerability of IPv6 and the absence of
service models
Ÿ There have not been any significant efforts for developing
information security products by verifying quality through any
functional/performance evaluations and also there are some
vague concerns about security and threats in the IPv6
environment.
Ÿ There have been an insufficient number of new services
developed to generate profits from the given IPv6 investments.
❑ There is a lack of specialists and absence of successful cases of
transition.
Ÿ There is no sufficient system operation or manpower
development for the newly introduced IPv6 system and there
has not been any sufficient number of accumulated experience
and successful cases of IPv6 transitions, so industry participants
are reluctant to be the first to introduce IPv6.
※ About 70% of small & medium companies want to receive support in the form
of expert training and technical consulting. (2013, KISA)
- 20 -
❑ Use of additional equipment such as NAT leads to a cost increase
and degraded quality.
Ÿ Due to the conversion between private IP addresses and public IP
addresses, there is difficulty in bi-directional one-to-one communication, so it
is hard to remotely control sensors and electronics.
Ÿ Duplicate use of private IP addresses leads to an increase in complexity of
network management. Public-private IP address conversion degrades
network quality and increases NAT purchase costs.
❑ Foreign companies eating up the domestic market and difficulties in
exploring overseas markets
Ÿ In the entire Internet industry including network/system integration (NI/SI) and
professional consulting, there is a huge gap of technology power with foreign
companies who are very willing to switch to IPv6, so there is significant
concern about losing domestic market share to foreign companies.
Ÿ Due to the lack of IPv6 experience and technology, domestic companies are
having a hard time exporting equipment or receiving orders on infrastructure
implementation projects.
* (IPv6 conversion equipment manufacturer A) They tried to participate in the
IPv6 implementation project funded by the Malaysian government, but they
failed in doing so because they had no experience in domestic IPv6
transitions or implementation.
❑ Issues of unfairness between companies having many IPv4
addresses and those without
Ÿ Service is not what they are competing for but it is more about how they get
IPv4 addresses, so the problem can degrade the overall fairness of the
Internet service market.
* (Companies A and B competing for exclusive company sales) Company A
tried to make a contract on the condition that they get more IPv4 addresses
than company B. Company B suffered from the lack of IPv4 addresses.

2 Execution Strategy
❑ Switch from ‘equipment improvement’ to ‘service oriented’
efforts.
Ÿ In the past, the existing IPv6 expansion policy focused on
equipment (network preparation rate improvements) but now a
shift has been made to focus on practical IPv6 service use.
Ÿ By launching commercial services for mobile communication, the
wired Internet and websites at the same time, we can implement
a virtuous IPv6 cycle involving all aspects of the system
(network, services, devices).
❑ Mandatory introduction of IPv6 in the public sector for
increased use of IPv6
Ÿ When the government/public organizations implement a new
website or make changes in their existing website, they must use
IPv6, so that use of IPv6 can be extended to websites in the
private sectors.
❑ Strengthening the competitiveness of IPv6-based information
security products and promoting the security industry
Ÿ To alleviate groundless concerns over IPv6-based security
equipment and to promote the relevant security industry, we
will develop competitive products and establish more strict
evaluation criteria for IPv6 security vulnerabilities.
❑ New IPv6-based service model development
Ÿ Discover new IPv6-based service models and execute
private/government collaboration test projects and
commercialization to create new values and attract IPv6
investments.

❑ Organizing and operating the private/government discussion
board for commercial service (2014-)
Ÿ The government, KISA, top three service providers, top three
manufacturers, and top three portals will organize the "IPv6
commercial service support discussion board"and resolve
concerns resulting from commercial service.
※ When providing IPv6 commercial service, these entities will periodically discuss
issues such as subscriber network implementation and technologies, IPv6
network linking, website launching and handset launching, and seek ways of
resolving them.
③ Mandatory introduction of IPv6 by the government and
public organizations
◇ Promote introduction of IPv6 to the network/websites of
government and public organizations to accumulate
experience, create profits and implement the basis for
expansion to the private sector.
- 30 -
❑ Mandatory introduction of IPv6 by the government and public
organizations (2015-)
Ÿ According to the national informatization framework act to be
newly revised, the government/public organization’s
network/websites must introduce and use IPv6 so as to spur its
use among the private sector.
※ Law revision schedules:
- Early April : Revision of drafts
- Apr-May : Provision of legislation notice and collect opinions from all depts.
- Jun-July : Review of regulations and review by the legal office
- August- : Submission to the national assembly
❑ Providing successful cases of IPv6 introduction to the public
sector and relevant guidelines (2016)
Ÿ Cases/experiences of IP introduction by government and public
organizations should be accumulated. Also, suggestions and
solutions for transition should be discussed to encourage small &
medium private websites to aggressively switch to IPv6.
- In conjunction with the government data integration center,
government websites (Ministry of Science, ICT and Future
Planning) IPv6 test transition (2015) will derive the best
practices for transition and,
- And as a result, we will prepare and distribute the ‘IPv6
Introduction Guidelines’ (2016) and promote the public and
private websites to transition to IPv6.
Ÿ Support implementation of a test bed that can evaluate IPv6
equipment implementation in the public sector.
※ Equipment purchased by government/public organizations has IPv6 functionality
embedded but very often is delivered without verification.
- 31 -
2 IPv6 equipment and service development
① IPv6 network equipment development and demand
expansion
◇ For promoting IPv6 transitions, we will develop low cost yet
capable network equipment suitable for the current domestic
condition, promote the industry and expand demands.
◇ To reduce the burden of costs and certification time for
network equipment manufacturers, we will simplify the
certification system and support implementation of test beds.
❑ IPv6-based network equipment development (2015-)
Ÿ Considering the global market leaderships and exportation
possibilities and substitution for imported goods, develop IPv6
based network equipment such as routers and switches.
< Network Equipment Development Types (6 Types) >
Classification Network equipment types
Market leadership
Ÿ 3.2TB class optical cable packet integrated transmission equipment, Ÿ 40G/100G next generation optical subscriber network equipmentŸ 4G/5G small cell BS and gateway equipment
Exports Ÿ SDN-based next generation small & medium type switches
Substitution for imports
Ÿ Smart edge router advancementŸ 480G class carrier Ethernet
※ Execution in conjunction with network equipment development plans such as
the "ICT equipment industry competitiveness strengthening strategy (2013)."
❑ Implementing an IPv6-based network equipment test bed (2015-)
Ÿ Implement an IPv6 test network similar to the actual commercial
service environment where IPv6 based network equipment
makers can test their equipment.
❑ Simplifying the IPv6 network equipment certification system
- 32 -
(2015-)
Ÿ To reduce the burden of certification costs for manufacturers and
to reduce the certification lead time, integrate the IPv6 Ready
Logo (international) and the TTA Verified(domestic) for the
simplification purpose.
- Since demanding organizations in Korea and overseas may
want different certification marks, provide two types of
certification marks until the integrated certification is
commonly used.
② Promoting the IPv6 information security industry
◇ Support development of IPv6 information security products
that companies introducing IPv6 can trust, that can conquer
the global market, and promote the domestic industry and
domestic competitiveness.
◇ For better safety and reliability of IPv6 information security
products, the IPv6 security vulnerability evaluation criteria
will be stricter than for IPv4, and a test bed prepared to
evaluate/verify performance criteria.
❑ IPv6-based information security product development (2015-)
※ IPv6 information security products are still in the early development phase,
so if you are the first one to develop and supply any, you can create a new
market for information security and conquer the world market.
Ÿ To improve IPv6-based security in a new industry with high
demand for IP addresses, such as cloud-based storage ad
services and the Internet of Things (IoT/M2M), original
technologies must be developed.
- 33 -
※ In conjunction with information security development plans such as the
"Comprehensive Information Security Industry Development Plans (2013)."
❑ IPv6 security research and test bed implementation (2015-)
Ÿ To create a mutual survival environment of IPv4/IPv6 or IPv6,
security vulnerabilities will be researched as well as how IPv6
address changes affect various offense/defense stances.
Ÿ After launching IPv6 information security products, support
implementation of a test bed to verify it through all phases from
development to post management.
❑ Stricter IPv6 security vulnerability and performance evaluation
criteria(2014-)
Ÿ Products having IPv6 security features will be more strictly
evaluated for security vulnerability by a security certificate (CC)
organization.* (added as a test item)
* Evaluation organizations (5): KOSYAS, KTL, KSEL, TTA, KISA
Ÿ Prepare and provide IPv6 mandatory security functions and
performance evaluation criteria for security products for
manufacturers and review mandatory application of security
certificates (CC) under the same criteria.*
* Consider excessive evaluation items, priorities for introducing products, and
preparation of manufacturers resulting from retrospective application of existing
certified products.
- 34 -
③ IPv6-based new service development
◇ Developer IPv6 service-based technologies such as access
technology to implement networks that can perform
IPv6-based communication between various objects.
◇ Test projects and commercialization to discover new service
models based on IPv6 such as big data, cloud-based services,
ITS and U-health by using new access technologies.
❑ IPv6-based Internet of things technology development (2015-)
※ At present, RFID, M2M, USN and mobile communication are serviced only
partially and independently, so it is impossible to share and utilize
information obtained from them.
※ The limited number of IPv4 addresses and number of resources (012, 010)
are too limited for use as unique numbers to identify all objects.
⇒ "Infinite Internet address (IPv6)" is the bestalternative for unique numbers
and a common resource that can work as a medium for various
communication methods such as RFID, M2M, USN and mobile
communication.
Ÿ To implement a network that can connect objects and perform
mutual communication based on IPv6, develop technologies that
are lightweight, lower power and heterogeneous.
* IPv6 requires a long string of digits and its basic protocol memory size is too
big, so it is hard to implement ultra small sized objects.
** In case of ultra small sized objects, there is a need to maintain performance
for a long time with little power consumption.
*** Need to interconnect a network to different types of communication methods
such as RFID, M2M and USN.
- 35 -
❑ IPv6-based new service development (2015-)
Ÿ Develop new business models using light weight/low
power/distinct model access technologies that can connect
various communication methods and services with IPv6.
- Develop various convergence/fusion services by connecting
big data, cloud services, ITS, U-health, and home network
services.
※ In conjunction with new service development plans such as the basic Internet
of things (IoE) plans.
Connects various objects to the Internet based on IPv6
- 36 -
< (Example) Car Accident Detection and Notice Service >
※ Examples: (1) Service to automatically detect vehicle accidents and notify the
emergency rescue organization, highway police, local hospital, railroad corporation,
and the insurance company. (2) A remote health diagnosis service using big data and
U-health ITS.
❑ Commercialization and testing of new services (2016-)
Ÿ Research institutions and companies participate in verifying
interoperability and analyzing problems with new service
application and possibility for commercialization.
Ÿ For technical verification and new service commercialization, a
group of experts from the government, academia, industry and
research fields is invited to form a "technical verification and
commercialization discussion board."

3 IPv6 transition promotion and user environment creation
① Tax deductions for companies introducing IPv6
◇ Tax deduction on IPv6 equipment
❑ Tax deduction on IPv6 equipment (Mar. 2014-)
※ Most companies have difficulties in creating profits when introducing IPv6
equipment, so they want incentives/assistance such as tax benefits from the
government.
Ÿ A certain portion of the cost of purchasing IPv6 equipment
(routers, switches) should be tax deductible (big companies 3%,
small & medium companies 7%) to reduce the burden on any
company introducing IPv6.
※ Special tax treatments were revised. (Announced and enforced on Mar 14,
2014.)
② IPv6 Transition rate auto measurement system
implementation and operation
◇ Each organization’s IPv6 traffic and ranking should be
periodically measured and announced to encourage voluntary
participation by organizations yet to use IPv6.
❑ IPv6 transition rate automated measurement system
implementation and operation (KISA, 2014-)
Ÿ At KISA, a system that can automatically measure user traffic at
a website and determine the use of IPv6 addresses and
IPv6-based website opening will be implemented. (2014.11)
- 38 -
❑ Annual announcement of each organization’s IPv6 transition
ranking (2015-)
Ÿ IPv6 traffic will be periodically measured and annual IPv6
transition rankings announced and published to encourage

1 IPv4 and IPv6 address comparisons
❑ IP address types
Ÿ There are two types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6. Currently,
mostly IPv4 is used.
Classification IPv4 (developed in '81) IPv6 (developed in 1998)
Address length 32 bits 128 bits
Address format Ex.: 211.192.38.1 Ex.: 2001:dc2:0:40:135:72df:9e74:d8a3
Total number of addresses
About 4.3 billion (232)About 4.3 billion×4.3 billion ×4.3 billion×4.3
billion (4.3×1038, 2128)
Address setting Manual setting Auto setting (complex address structure)
Security IPSec protocols installed
separatelyBasically provided in the expansion function.
Quality control No way of supporting Easy to guarantee the quality
❑ IPv6 advantages
Ÿ (IP addresses increased) The number of IP addresses is greatly
increased as the bit number is increased from 32 bits to 128 bits,
therefore IPv6 will be able to handle the immense impending
demand to be generated from the IoT and expanded use of
smartphones.
Ÿ (Auto address setting) In the past, IPv4 addresses were set
manually but IPv6 allows auto setting without intervention by a
user.
Ÿ (1:1 communication) IPv4 uses a private IP address and cannot
achieve one-to-one device communication, but IPv6 does not use
a private IP address, so it can achieve one-to-one device
communication.
Ÿ (Handset mobility) Even if a user moves to another base station,
- 46 -
the IP address is not changed and service can be provided
without interruption.
Ÿ (Quality control) It is possible to classify packets depending on
user’s class and service, and guarantee quality accordingly.
Ÿ (Reduced network management costs) IPv6 does not require
address converters (Network address translation (NAT)) so it is
easy to configure the network, and costs for network
implementation and management are reduced.
Ÿ (Security) IPv4 requires additional installation of a security
function (IPSec) but IPv6 provides security as a basic unit of its
expansion function.

3 IPv6 transition costs
Ÿ When domestic ISPs and CSPs (content service providers)
implement IPv6, we can expect that transition costs after 2014
will amount to about KRW 2.1 trillion.
- The main ISPs occupy 37.1%, small & medium ISPs occupy
21.6%, and CSPs occupy 41.3% (about KRW85.8 billion),
- 48 -
which means that CSPs occupy the largest portion.
※ Main ISP’s, small & medium ISP’s and CSP’s network/security/server
equipment are to be replaced as the technology develops and traffic increases.
Ÿ (Domestic) For successful introduction of IPv6, let’s assume that all L3
equipment (routers/switches) owned by companies surveyed in the 2013
Domestic IPv6 Preparation Status Investigation are replaced with IPv6
equipment. The resulting cost (hardware, software, labor) leads to the
estimation of IPv6 transition costs. (Main ISPs: hardware 80.6%, software
10.9%, labor fees 8.5%)
※ The survey results in an estimate of transition costs based on the ISPs (KT, SKB,
SKT, LGU+), the small & medium ISPs (77 companies) and CSPs (152 companies)
surveyed.
Ÿ (USA) As the IPv6 implementation costs can affect service types, transition
technologies, infrastructure configurations, security levels and transition time,
so also we need to discuss with interested parties and experts to derive the
IPv6 implementation costs. (Jan. 2006, US Department of Commerce report,
ISPs: hardware 15%, software 15%, labor fees 70%)
